So when I was contacted by the Brazilian magazine,PIAUI to do a dessert pastiche for their 2nd birthday issue, I was thrilled but terrorized :) The last two weeks have been a deluge of desserts, including even trying to paint this napkin - that pony didn't ride. Here's a mini detail of the finished multi-dessert cover, which by the way came out fine. But what with the bank and market deluge my cover stands a very good chance of being back-burnered. C'est la vie. When I know for sure I'll show you the full monte.Dessert Pastiche,original watercolor, 5.5" x 7.5"

I've decided it's time to start painting more than just 1 or 2 desserts at a time. So I plunged in. I know you'll let me know what you think. Here's a snack while you're busy doing dessert analogy.~

Congratulations,CarolI´m sure you´ll shock them with the result.You´re able to do it(I bet my shoes...and you know that´s a hard bet for me ;D).If yoú can knit a scarf...you can knit a jersey(I did it last year and the only thing I´d knitted were my looooong scarves)so you´re drawing all the cakes"ensemble" you´re wanting to.Bon courage!!!

Oh my gosh. first off I could pick that first cupcake up and munch right into the middle of it...it looks so real. second off.. WOW. You are cookin' here. I hope your cover painting makes it. Looks wonderful from what we can see.I think your paintings have taken on a richer depth from when you first started posting them. Not sure thats the wording I want but they have really grown.

Cutie, you can paint as many darned desserts as you like. I won't complain! Good luck with the magazine cover--that's excellent, Carol! Kudos! I hope they put it on the front burner again VERY soon. These are all delightful.

Sometimes I catch myself coming and going! Your post on Sue's blog today explains your love of miniatures!!! You've ALWAYS loved them! As for the desserts, the more the merrier! Naturally, this will mean more "research" but something tells me you're up to the task!
